Description
I was strolling through Old Town, Albuquerque, when a window with a simple, scroll design in a wrought iron grill beneath it caught my eye. The window itself was charming, and I took a picture. Then I took another . . . and another - each focusing on different aspects of it. This is a small section of the grill, duplicated and mirrored (so the section is actually 1/4 of the finished abstract). The grill was horizontal, but I rather liked how it looked rotated to the vertical. It was late in the day, so the shadow pattern was almost as strong as the metal itself. It shifts as it lies over different planes playing visual tricks on the viewer - which is kind of fun once you figure out that you don't have a problem with your eyes.
